WEEKLY CHALLENGES
Weekly challenges are our way to keep the club running when everyone's schedules start to become hectic. They are completed on your own time and are completely optional. Every week, there will be a new topic/theme. You will be able to submit photos you have taken that relate to this topic, including past and current pictures. If you find an inspirational photographer that you would like to share with the club that relates to this topic, you can also submit a link to their photos. Topics and themes of the future might be nature, people, macro, night, and much more. Have an idea for a cool topic? Send us your idea! Here are a few helpful links relating to weekly challenges.
Here are the instructions that go through how to submit photos to their associated Flickr Group. The slides leave off from the previous slide show in the Handbook under #3 of "Getting Started."
CLUB EXCURSIONS
Club excursions are a way for members of the Badger Photo Club to go out in small groups and take photos together. Members will be able to choose their own groups to go out with or they will be able to join a group that is connected through the photo club. After going out and taking photos together, each group will compile their favorite images and post them to the Badger Photo Club Flickr page. More information on Club Excursions can be found at the following links.

Further events will be added to our Handbook as they are developed and planned.
